The -6 degree temperature in St. Louis had finally cleared and had risen to over 60 degrees Fahrenheit by Saturday 2/2/2019. The reason: Memphis May Fire brought in the heat. This was my first time shooting Memphis May Fire and I was anxious to see them as I’ve heard positive …

After seeing the sights in the gateway to the west on November 29th, Halestorm arrived to Stifel Theatre in downtown St. Louis and made sure that everyone who was in attendance knew rock wasn’t dead. It was a night featuring three strong performances from female voiced bands and it was …
